Glenn was a wonderful neighbor who was always there for my family whenever we needed him. He was like a dad to us when we were kids growing up next door, and we practically lived at his house coming and going as we pleased. A truly wonderful man! I love you, Glenn. Thank you for all you've done for us.

So sorry to hear about Glenn. I first met Glenn in the 3rd grade. He was my first best friend. We shared many young memories. We once shared the same Hawaiian shirt for school pictures. I remember going to A&M with the Glenn when Emmet was in the Corp. We got to stay in the cadet dorm. What an experience for two kids. I still have a cadet cap I caught at the graduation ceremony. Although our lives seem to have parted during adolescence and adulthood, Glenn will always remain in my thoughts for sharing some of my most memorable years. We shared a lot when it was fun being a kid. Good thoughts and memories be with Glenn's family.

Paula : Glenn was well-respected out at the plant, representing what he and his co-workers believed in. We had a good working relationship and he always had the right intentions in whatever he did. I first worked with his dad (Little Caesar). Both memorable people at that plant. Glenn will be missed. God Bless You and I will keep all of you in my prayers.

To the Sheppard Family: I am sorry for your loss. I remember Glenn as a reliable coworker. Glenn was one of the first men I met when I first stepped foot on the Ethylene Unit 1544 in Port Arthur's Gulf Refinery. He welcomed me, trained me, and was always willing to help me. A sincere man when work needed it but a funny man too. Glenn was fun to be around.

Paula & family- I am so sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine how you all are feeling right now. This has hit me pretty hard. In my teens and twenties Glenn was like a father to me. when I got into a car wreck in high school, it was Glenn that I called to come get me, because I was scared my parents would be mad. Glenn brought me to football games and crabbing. Glenn enjoyed sneaking up on me when I was lying in the yard getting a suntan and spraying me with the water hose or dumping ice cold water on me. I loved to hear him laugh. He made the best popcorn ever, and fried fish. These or just a few of the wonderful memories I have of Glenn. He will always be in my heart. I am so blessed to have had him in my life. You all were family to me. May God give you all comfort and peace at this time. Love, Kelly Morrison Pate
